23.5° Tilt Theater Company provides seasonal entertainments for seasonal times.
Co-founded by Elizagrace Madrone and Kate Pressman, we create site-responsive, text-driven theater at a slow, human pace. Tilt’s shows are built for touring, traveling, and popping up unexpectedly.
UPCOMING SHOWS:
Marta Nesspek Presents… @ The Tank on January 15
If you’d like to bring one of our shows to you, contact Tilt at 23.5degreetilt@gmail.com.

She tries but sometimes fails to steer her innate darkness away from the nihilistic and towards the existential.
